Two
sides are fighting the war. Most Christians think the enemy we need to be
fighting is the unsaved. And, obviously, I wouldn’t waste your time with this
chapter if they were right. Let’s examine this topic to learn what the two
warring factions are, which will help us better understand the war.

Back when the physical creation was part of the
Kingdom of God (KOG), unity and harmony existed. Then Lucifer coveted physical
things and the war started. No unsaved people were involved. I say again, the war
was caused by God’s children with everlasting life. Satan won that which he
coveted, the Kingdom of Heaven (KOH). God created for Himself a physical
beachhead in the KOH called the garden of Eden. The garden of Eden was a type of the KOG as well as of the
future, new KOH – called Zion (KOH/Z). God put Adam in the garden to contend
with the Devil. In order to be successful, all Adam had to do was let God do
the thinking; Adam was simply to obey the literal meaning of God’s word. Alas,
the Devil succeeded in getting Adam to activate his self-evident knowledge of
right and wrong, and mankind was denied the tree of life, which revealed that
our flesh-and-blood bodies are cursed
because the carnal old man does not have everlasting life, cannot receive
spiritual truths, and cannot go to heaven (Mt 16:17; Ga 1:16; 1 Co 15:50).
